Xia Kingdom, Jinling City.

The leading eunuch in the palace held up the bright yellow imperial edict high in his right hand. Under the protection of a group of embroidered envoys wearing colorful embroidered clothes, he rode through the street. More than a hundred palace guards,

Followed closely.

As soon as the people on both sides of the street saw this, they knew that the angels from the palace were coming to deliver the message, and they hurriedly got out of the way for fear of blocking the road.

Horse hooves were flying, angels in the palace were galloping past, and the people couldn't help but start talking.

"Ah, embroiderer! Which master has lost power and wants to ransack his house?"

The struggle between the DPRK and the Central Government has always been fierce. The most common thing that the people of Jinling City saw was that an unknown minister of the DPRK and the Central Government lost power in the party struggle and was dismissed from his post and investigated. The embroidered envoys went to search the house in great numbers to hold him accountable.

At this time, someone else spoke in the crowd and said:

"No, that place in front is the Ten Kings Street, isn't it? No adults live there!"

With one sentence, the people's discussions suddenly fell silent.

The direction where everyone made great fanfare was commonly known as "Ten King Street" among the people. The palaces of the ten sons of the founding ancestor of the Xia Kingdom were all built here. Princes who had never been ennobled in subsequent dynasties were all placed here, which became the residence of the royal family.

A place for children.

It has been passed down for more than 600 years. There is already more than one street on the Ten King Street side, and there are no longer ten royal palaces over there!

Over the years, as the battle for the right to inherit the throne has become more and more public, the battles in the Great Xia Dynasty have become particularly fierce. But there has never been a time when it has affected the princes!

"Hey, this is strange!"

"Yes, the reform war a few years ago was so fierce, but it didn't involve these princes!"

"Do you think the crown prince's position has been decided? Speaking of which, our Majesty will be over seventy this year..."

Among the crowd, I don’t know who said this randomly.

The people who were still discussing just now, no matter how arrogant they were, immediately realized that something was wrong with the situation.

A few years ago, Confucianism and Legalism were fighting each other in the name of reform. At that time, the princes in the court who wanted to retain the throne showed their magical powers to criticize their opponents, which attracted all the civil and military officials in the court and the country to take sides.

At the end of the riot, nearly 30% of the top officials in the DPRK were dismissed from their posts and investigated, and the situation in the DPRK was extremely turbulent.

But even if the commotion was so big, when Emperor Xia came to settle matters afterwards, all the princes were safe and sound.

Everyone looked at each other and immediately knew that something big was about to happen.

Someone swallowed, opened his mouth to smooth things over, and said:

"Hahaha, what nonsense are you talking about? It's just an imperial edict. I can't say which prince did the job well and was rewarded!"

This is nonsense! How can there be a person delivering decrees and commendations, followed by a lot of people embroidering clothes? This is obvious, it is the rhythm of confiscating houses!

However, everyone at this time did not dare to go on. Do you really think that the embroidered clothes envoys are vegetarians? Talking about government affairs and the royal family is not life-saving!

The "political key" people who realized the seriousness of the problem immediately cooperated and laughed.

"That's right!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

After saying that, everyone dispersed in a hurry and hurriedly left, for fear of being stopped by the embroidery envoy who came.

On the other side, the palace eunuch held the imperial edict in his hand and led a large group of people directly to the Ten Kings Street. He got down and walked quickly to the door of a palace.

The guards in front of the red lacquer gate saw that the eunuch was about to break in with his men, and immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Then the eunuch snorted, raised his head slightly, and said coldly:

"The imperial edict has arrived, please accept it from His Majesty the King of Jin!"

On the plaque above the eunuch's head, the three characters "Prince Jin's Mansion" hung brightly on the door.

Several guards had been working in front of Prince Jin's Mansion for many years, and this was not the first time they encountered someone delivering an order.

But this King of Jin has always been good at dancing and cautious. The tasks he handles are always very appropriate. Almost all those who come to deliver orders are praised. The eunuchs who come are all extremely flattering, but they have never had such an attitude.

Anyone with a brain suddenly felt something bad in his heart and said quickly:

"Please wait a moment, father-in-law, I will report you soon..."

When the eunuch heard this, he sneered and said:

"Go for it!"

After that, he pushed away the guard blocking him with one hand and walked boldly towards the palace.

In the backyard of the palace, Prince Jin was holding and teasing his newborn grandson. At this time, he heard the news that an angel had come to deliver the message, and his attitude was not good. His hands suddenly stopped.

Looking at the panicked servants, King Jin lowered his eyes, and immediately handed the grandson in his arms to the wet nurse beside him, and said in a deep voice:

"Send someone to send a message to Lord Taipu Zhang, Lord Yao, and Lord Qi, the censor, asking them to come to the mansion to see the orphan as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, his subordinates quickly bowed their heads and saluted, saying:

"yes!"

King Jin straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the backyard.

At this time, the servants in the palace had already prepared the incense table to welcome the imperial edict. The eunuchs in the palace also stood aside holding the imperial edict, waiting for the arrival of King Jin.

Surrounded by the center of the palace, King Jin slowly came to the eunuch in the palace, lifted up his robe, knelt down and saluted, and said in a deep voice:

"My son, I accept the order!"

When the eunuch in the palace saw this, he immediately expressed his imperial edict and read:

"I bear the fate of Haotian's followers, and the edict says:

I am deeply worried about the chaos in the six counties in the southwest, which has led to the turmoil of the country, the people's livelihood, and the hardship of the people. Fortunately, King Yu Zhaoli of the Jin Dynasty has offered advice on the southwest and has made great contributions to the country. I am pleased with it. I will commend it and give 100 embroidered clothes envoys to obey orders. Show my heart and admire this!"

When King Jin heard the content of the imperial edict, his face was suddenly stunned.

A hundred envoys of embroidered clothes are given to listen to orders? It has been six hundred years since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, but such a reward has never been heard before.

Regardless of the fact that some princes can secretly mobilize some of the Embroidery Envoys. But that is only because there are high-level Embroidery Envoys who have taken refuge in them, so that they can mobilize some of the Embroidery Envoys for their own use.

On the surface, the Xiu Yi Envoy was a personal soldier of the Emperor of Great Xia. Except for the Emperor, no one could control this power.

Any suggestions?

When did you offer advice to the six southwest counties?

While King Jin was in a daze, the worries on the faces of his confidants disappeared, revealing expressions of surprise.

The embroidered clothes envoys are the emperor's personal soldiers. On the surface, no one can mobilize them except the emperor. But now, the embroidered clothes envoys are given to obey orders in the palace. In this way, isn't it that His Majesty is hinting that he is in his heart?

His Highness won this battle for the right to inherit the throne!

The confidants only thought that they were about to become the ministers of Qiandi, and their faces suddenly showed excitement and joy.

At this time, the eunuch in the palace folded the imperial edict in his hand and said with a smile:

"His Royal Highness King Jin, please accept the order!"

King Jin came to his senses slightly, stood up and saw the appearance of the eunuch delivering the order, and was suddenly shocked.

Something's wrong, it's definitely not that simple!

If it was really his father's choice to accept the position of crown prince, then it would be too late for the eunuch who was delivering the decree to curry favor with him, so it might look like this!

Thinking of this, King Jin's heart skipped a beat, he raised his hands heavily and accepted the imperial edict.

"Thank you, Father, for your grace!"

Holding the imperial edict, King Jin slowly stood up, looked at the eunuch in front of him, and suddenly asked:

"I dare to ask my father-in-law, I have not offered any strategies for the southwest affairs before, so why did my father issue such an imperial edict?"

Hearing this, the eunuch gave a fake smile and said:

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is joking. The advice to impeach His Highness King Qi for disobeying the will and to both suppress and pacify the rebels in the southwest was not what you presented to His Majesty... His Majesty has issued an edict in accordance with your advice. Immediately recall His Highness King Qi and issue an order to surrender!"

Gu Yan

Upon hearing this, King Jin's face turned slightly pale, his heart beat wildly, and he said in a deep voice:

"I, the king, have not proposed any suppression strategies..."

The face of the eunuch who delivered the order sank, and he spoke every word authentically:

"His Royal Highness, King Jin, if His Majesty said that your advice has merit, then it means that your advice has merit!"

In just one sentence, he directly defeated King Jin.

The eunuch who delivered the order turned slightly, looked at the embroidered messengers behind him, and said coldly:

"Listen to me all of you! Your Highness, Prince Jin, is a man of great wealth, and there is no room for failure! You are all carefully selected by your godfather. You must take good care of His Highness, Prince Jin! Otherwise, your godfather will not spare you. you!"

When King Jin heard this, he subconsciously glanced at the eunuch who was delivering the order.

If he remembered correctly, this man seemed to be Emperor Xia's confidant and the godson of Sixi, the eunuch in the palace.

Only the eunuch who was in charge of the embroidery envoys for Emperor Xia could scare these embroidery envoys...

A group of embroiderers immediately shouted loudly and said:
To be continued...
